An aba file is used to complete batch payments produced by the Accounting or Payroll Software.

A batch payment is a payment that groups a number of supplier invoice payments or employee pays.

After creating the batch payment, the Accounting/Payroll software produces the aba file. The aba file is then uploaded into the online Banking Portal.

An Aba file is a compatible file format with all Australian banks.
